About

Whether in my still lifes or my figurative paintings, the goal
is to create an abstract form of storytelling with images
that are as simple and direct as children’s book illustrations
while at the same time being as mysterious as dreams.Clarity and Ambiguity; balancing both of these elements
is essential. And though my pictures often resemble and
are indeed informed by traditional forms of illustration,
the important distinction between Fine Art and Illustration
is in the intent. That is to say, I’m more interested in the
emotional effect of an image than the specific narrative
content. It may look like a book illustration, but it is only
in appearance. The only thing I’m looking to illustrate is
my consciousness.
